Filter jobs
We are currently tracking 39 live vacancies matching lead and principal Ruby jobs in the UK, advertised by 11 different employers. The most active employers in this slice are Remotefriendly, Welligence, Ndt and Onewayvc. Every role is detected on the employer's own careers page rather than reposted from another board, so what you see here is the vacancy as the employer wrote it.
Too few of these roles publish a salary for a reliable benchmark. Where a figure is quoted it appears on the listing, and contract day rates are annualised so they can be compared against permanent salaries.
On working pattern, 64% are fully remote and 26% are hybrid. By seniority, 100% at lead or principal level. Filter by any of these on the left.
Employers hiring for Ruby in this slice most often ask for it alongside Python, Kubernetes, C#, Java, React and Machine Learning. That co-occurrence is counted from the live listings on this page, not from a fixed list, so it moves with the market.

Questions about these roles
How many lead and principal Ruby jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 39 live vacancies across 11 employers. The crawler revisits employer careers pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.
Can these roles be done remotely?
64% are advertised as fully remote and 26% as hybrid. The rest are on-site or do not say — where an employer is silent we leave it blank rather than guessing.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
Every role here that states a basis is permanent. Contract vacancies are listed separately.
Which employers are hiring?
The most active right now are Remotefriendly, Welligence, Ndt, Onewayvc and Coursereport. Every vacancy links straight to that employer's own careers page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company, and there is no middleman between you and the application.
What other skills do these roles ask for?
Most often Python, Kubernetes, C#, Java and React. That is counted from the live adverts on this page rather than a fixed list, so it tracks what employers are asking for this month.
Can you work from home as a Ruby developer in the UK?
35 of the 39 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 25 fully remote and 10 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate Ruby developer jobs in the UK?
Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Serve as a Technical Project Manager, Data Scientist - Senior or Staff Level, Software Engineer - Manager, Senior Technical Product Manager – Government Vehicle Cooling Systems and Oracle Cloud Solution Architect. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
